the Local Government Industry Training Board. The work of the Agricultural Training Board has increased the number of entrants attending training for the craft skills. With pay premiums for craft status, there has been a greater awareness of the advantages accruing to qualifications though the 'academic' examination courses are not accepted by the Agricultural Wages Board as a measure of skill attainment. In 1976, 'guestimated' proportions of full-time staff who entered horticultural employment over the previous 10 years who have received some full-time training or education are:- Local Authority and District Council 60 per cent Commercial Horticulture 30 per cent Part—time Commercial Horticulturists 10 per cent There has been a changing pattern of qualifications at entry, from mainly nonacademic students with no Ordinary Level passes in the early 1960's, through a gradual improvement to include those with an easy capacity to express themselves on paper, but there has remained a hard core of entrants to horticulture whose employability in some years will be severely restricted by their poor showing with the three R's.
